isekai fantasy anime was always generally considered pretty trash

Escaflowne would like a word with you.

On an interesting note, isekai used to be a genre targeted more towards a female audience. The more astute of you might be able to find some meaning in this fact, and relate it to the broader social climate we are currently experiencing.

They'll never allow a game like early WoW again, which proved soundly that they actually suck at competing with real people outside of their gated communities, where their money can't buy them success.

Guess what crimes the first president committed against his government at the time?

Why do you think they spend all of their time and resources inventing new ways to put distance between themselves and the people who actually have to deal with the consequences of their decisions?

I don't see how they could get any more transparent: The last candidate with his/her head attached to his/her shoulders wins the office. Can't get much simpler than that!

Problem is that white people don't tend to respond to criticism the way those with an inferiority complex do, so their efforts really accomplish little other than removing one more diversion standing between bad faith actors and too much free time.

Polygamous behaviour is ONLY meant for the rare extremes

From what I understand, "harems" where one man will have many girlfriends are pretty normal in south east Asia (for this reason a lot of women are lesbians, because all the men there are scum). With this, a very significant segment of the feminist movement is coming out of the south Korean feminist cult, the "World Mission Church of God," which is headed by a woman who claims to be the Earthly incarnation of God. It's a bit easier to understand the radicals when you recognize that a lot of their ideas come out of that sort of culture.

maybe they should be asking why people don't want to watch western media anymore

I shit you not, it started in World of Warcraft. As there was an endless succession of "conquering hero" stories in each expansion, eventually the player base started asking for a change of tone, more threatening enemies, and stories where we don't actually win in the end. This was right around where Hollywood began it's dark and gritty phase, and the rest is history.

Basically the problem is with people trying to live in fictional worlds, then when that proves insufficient they try to change the media to fill that role instead of changing how they interact with media and the real world.

There's no fucking way you can fool anyone who has seen that video into thinking he was trying to render aid.

That's the thing: They don't expect their audience to actually watch the video.

I mean, yea? Yaoi is extremely popular with young girls.

Given that puberty in girls has been trending earlier as industrial society progresses, its almost a certainty that "she bleedin'" was a mid-teen thing for most of history anyway. An age when most boys were already working actual jobs, if they weren't years into hard labor on the family business anyway, because the concept of adulthood were usually based around them. So they wouldn't be some innocent "child wife," but more of more world ready highschooler.

Good analysis of what's going on here. So many people, even on these forums, get caught up debating "what's the right age?" that they entirely miss the real world issues that they're attempting to define. They approach it from the perspective of regulating a recreational activity rather than one of the most deeply significant issues which defines the course of most people's lives. It might be easy to imagine a consensual one night stand, while missing the harm done by arranged child marriages.

Edit: I actually have a pet theory that the focused debate on age is deliberately ignoring the base reason we care: that much older people can easily mislead younger people due to their significantly greater experience with life as a human. I feel as though, if we were to have a significant discussion about this type of abuse it may threaten some significant tech companies who take advantage of the same lack of worldly experience to addict and entrap youth openly. A very significant portion of which does, in fact, prey upon youthful sex drives.

Because nobody with talent wants to be a part of this current madness.

That's how they get incompetent people into positions they aren't capable of performing, by promising them rockstar lifestyles while their army of aides and assistants do all the actual work for them.

It wasn't supposed to be wholly original. It was intended to be, in part, a commentary on many of the common anime tropes.

She's using a baby as a prop for a sexy photo shoot. It's very off the mark.

Some of them will become the most militant anti-lgbt crusaders seen in recent times.

Some of these dipshits can't even rub the two requisite brain cells together to form the opinion that the benefits of living in a high trust society vastly outweigh the benefits of getting an extra $50 right now.

Yea, for all the noise they make, sexy women in media gives women the same sort of power fantasy as oiled buff dudes in jock straps give men (assuming it isn't overtly sexual). The first couple companions he had in the modern series played this role extremely well, but yes, they have once again completely misunderstood the point of the exercise by ditching that element.

I just can't understand these people. First they claim that the show isn't for us, and I'm thinking "okay, well this is something I can get behind, since I definitely don't want something like this," and things are feeling pretty good... but then they go and try to ban everything else, and I'm left wondering "okay so is it supposed to be for me or not, because don't get me excited with promises that it isn't for me when you clearly want me to watch it."

They just can't seem to make up their mind in this weird, unrequited crush they appear to have on straight white men, and it's starting to get uncomfortable as they miss every ordinary social cue to lower their flag and move on.

Some grade A retards are attempting to use media to program men to serving a submissive role.
